  • India's Starvation Measures
    Pandemic—4 n. r. musahar INDIA’S STARVATION MEASURES ndia is currently in the early stages of a three-week lockdown imposed by the Modi government to control the covid-19 pan- demic. National and state borders have been sealed and swathes of the economy shut down.1 Workers have been laid off and day Ilabourers have lost their incomes. Sanitation workers and other key employees are struggling to get to work without public transport. Those in the informal sector have been particularly hard hit. Migrant workers are desperately trying to return to their villages, in some cases walking hundreds of miles along now empty highways, carrying their children in their arms. Students, too, are trying to get home as their colleges and universities have shut. Those who succeed may be carrying the virus into areas of rural India it has not so far reached. But for many the dis- tances are just too great and they are stuck without an income, facing hunger in the cities that will no longer support them. The ngo sector is trying to step in, and some local-government agencies are supplying food and shelter. But the risk of overcrowding and the spread of disease imperils such interventions. Meanwhile, a combination of disrupted supply chains and panic buy- ing has led to empty shelves in shops. Food prices have risen and some commodities are unavailable. It did not take long for stories of lock- down-related violence to emerge: social media—and increasingly, the mainstream media too—is awash with evidence of the police assaulting people for supposed infractions: shoppers trying to buy essential goods, delivery staff, journalists, doctors and transport workers.

The pandemic nearly brought the world to a standstill. Those of us who lived during the pandemic witnessed unknown times. The fear of getting infected of a very contagious disease that could even cause death was writ large on people’s faces. People were confined to their homes. They stepped out only when absolutely necessary, e.g. to buy provisions or to access medical services; or if they were serving in essential services like hospitals, security and police, etc. Economic activities were down to minimum. Means of public transportation were halted, all educational institutions, industries and work establishments were closed.

  • Research Update (July-Dec 2020)
    Azim Premji University Research Update (July-Dec 2020) 1 Note from the Research Centre 2020 has been one of the most difficult of years. It was listed by the UN as the “International Year of Plant Health” and by the World Health Organization as the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife”. Sadly, the main thing the year will be remembered for is the COVID-19 Pandemic. As the year draws to an end, it is time for us to look forth with hope and expectation to a very different 2021. For the past two years, Azim Premji University has brought out a newsletter at regular intervals, to keep us updated on the research we collectively conduct. What started as a simple exercise of collation became more than a summary, as we experimented with different sections, and added new formats. As 2020 draws to a close, we have changed the format to a ‘magazine-like’ version. In this issue, you will find the regular newsletter coverage of articles, journal papers, research, etc. In addition, you will also find a new thematic focus: with some crystal ball-gazing into the future, we collectively engage in “Heralding 2021”. We have tried to make it as readable and visually rich as possible. As said earlier, we are evolving with time, and if you have any comments to share on the content, format or look n feel, do drop us a mail on [email protected] In the end, as we ring in the new year – 2021, declared as the “International Year of Peace and Trust,” and “the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development” by the UN, one can only hope and pray that it does not get stamped by one label or defined by one trend.
